In 1900 they presented a car with an 2-cylinder 20hp engine which followed the very latest Mercedes lines. In 1903 they showed the world´s first 6-cylinder car. All SPYKER cars used advanced technology. The famous round radiator appeared in 1905. After WWI SPYKER even used Maybach engines. Car production ceased in 1925.
Their latin slogan was: NULLA TENACI VIA EST INVIA.
That means: for the obstinate [driver of a SPYKER ] no way is impossible !
